Equipment is heavily discounted, but still $1000 per year for replacing wedges and shafts. He's got a great deal on a nice course membership for $250/month. Then there's the unexpected costs of going through 2-3 gloves per week ($200/month), wearing out grips every 3 months ($100/month), wearing out shoes every 2 months ($100/month).
I wouldn't recommend going down this path to anyone who isn't either rich, or willing to make some financial sacrifices. I do enjoy hanging out on golf course a lot more than baseball diamonds and soccer fields though. It is a very stressful sport for a parent.
